On WeddingWire since 2019

Last update: January 2024

Thank you for being here and welcome!

I officiated 57 weddings in 2020 during a pandemic, and would love to serve you in this capacity as well.

I am flexible to your needs and can change dates and times (based on availability) as needed because of the need to change dates and times due to circumstances.

I can most times accommodate last minute ceremonies provided you have a valid Marriage License or will obtain one by the date that you want. Please check with your municipality, or you can go outside of your area to get a license sooner.

The Simple Ceremony is $250.00 for me to come to you within Brampton and Mississauga. Outside those areas a mileage fee may apply.

I am flexible, great to work with and very organized.

I specialize in Indian weddings requiring the legal component here in Brampton and the wedding to be held at a later date in India. I also can help expedite ceremonies with immigration requirements to get the Marriage Certificate quickly.

Great energy, calm demeanor, flexible, and inclusive.

We loved Rev. Barbara's energy and spirit as soon as we spoke with her. She is someone who truly values the important things and understands the true institution of marriage. We wanted a simple wedding in our backyard after having to re-plan with little notice. She was able to support our needs, incorporate our cultural practices, and see to it that we were married. We would highly recommend her!

A great experience at a precious moment in our lives.

Barbara spent considerable time with us in advance of the event to ensure that everything ran smoothly on the big day. Her attention to detail impressed us. And then during the actual ceremony, her calm and soothing voice helped to bring out the best in us all because she had us relaxed, allowing us to focus on our time of joyful celebration.

Rev. Barbara Kawa is an Angel

Rev. Barbara is an angel. She was so easy to work with, professional, showed up on time and flexible whenever we had any changes. Before our big day, we had sent her our personal vows to look over and she reassured us that it was perfect. On our actual wedding day, her voice and demeanor helped calm us both down as we were super nervous walking down the aisle. She lead our ceremony with ease and it turned out amazing as we had incorporated our fur babies as part of our vows. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fun and easy-going officiant! Thank you Rev. Barbara!

Wonderful experience with Barbara

The Mindful Choices process was easy and worry free from start to finish! We chose Barbara to officiate our COVID wedding. It was simple wedding. I emailed her last minute to change ceremony timing and she accepted it right away. Her presence and professionalism elevated our ceremony. Her confident, yet calming demeanour put everyone at ease; bringing out laughter, big smiles, and fun talking amongst us. It was absolutely wonderful to have Barbara there with us - thank you!

Pandemic Wedding

Barbara was a sweetheart and from day one was attentive to our needs. We wanted a simple signing ceremony which was originally supposed to be in our home with a few friends. That quickly changed last minute with the lockdown to a park as no one was allowed inside. We chose a last minute Kariya Park venue and added the exchange of rings last minute, she was able to accommodate everything! Feedback from my family is she truly made the day with her humour and was the perfect officiant for our day! It was also the first snowfall of the year but nothing stopped us! Thank you Barbara for everything :)

Thank you so much Barbara!

Barbara was so accommodating and kind. She made the process so effortless and stress free. We had a hiccup during our actual wedding date and she was very understanding and helped us a lot. She's super respectful of all cultures. The best choice for an officiant!

Barbara was absolutely amazing!!

Barbara was fantastic! She was outgoing and her personality really matched ours which was nice. She was also very open so that our personalities could come through during the ceremony. Barbara was punctual for the ceremony which was great. She was also a very easy person to work with, pre-ceremony. A communication took place via email, she sent the vows and allowed us to pick specifics to cater to us and to make it personal, she was very prompt with her replies and so open to customizing and changes. It was a pleasure to work Barbara, weddings can be stressful and she made it very easy.
